Dumb question: is there a way to find out if your purchase got a little bit to go here?

i appreciate the help, y'all... a lot.  i'm crossing my fingers this place becomes self sufficient this year (being year three). 

i don't think you can find out as a consumer about the amount kicked back by going to amazon by using the links here.. i can see the number of clicks on the amazon central page, and i can see how many resulted in purchases by percentage of 'clicks'.  i can even see what was purchased, though it's an ass pain to get to that section- a section which exists in essence so web guys like me can see what it's travelers are interested in and perhaps advertise those in particular if a trend develops... 

it's so across the board- the 'income', that i don't even know how to determine what 'percentage' of sales we get in kick back.. i think it varies by product.  i'd wager it's somewhere in the 10th of a point to 2 points max, but that is just a SWAG.  

i appreciate every cent... other than the hours in this joint (which i don't mind), we gotta make $3500/yr to hold it together (cost of server, NOT a shared environment and 100% responsible for our stellar 'up time').

Now I am getting a header to go to "Amazon Smile" instead, which donates money to the Semper Fi Fund in my case.  I just started that.  I presume the option is for them to get the funds instead of here, I will stay with here.

The wife has her "smiles" go to St. Judes, which I think is a good organization.

I try and click on Amazon daily, even if I'm not buying something.  I just bought two baseballs in a plastic case for autographs, and then I dreamt last night that they came with a large corporate logo on them and I was on the phone trying to get that fixed, while I was asleep, on the phone.  Bummer.

that's a bad dream, cincy. 

i don't think it interferes with 'other' charity's... or, i hope it doesn't.

I think it's an "either-or" proposition.  If I click on the Smiles tab, the donation goes to my charity I designated, which I did the other day.  I've never seen this option crop up previously.

gotcha...

the part about percentages is a mystery to me... as a for instance, let's say you clicked on an ad here or searched from here but didn't purchase anything... for two weeks it resides in your cookies- and if you go back the site gets a kicker.... less of a kicker, but one all the same.. 

but what if you did that, but on another site clicked an ad and went to amazon while the cookie from here was still valid?  as i understand it, both this site and the one you also used would get kickers- not in equal parts, as the most recent would get the larger... but both still benefit. 

i'm at a loss to understand it, and they change it all the time. 

what i can say is this place is bereft adverts as other sites run- nothing intrusive and everything easily blockable (no sneaky ads).  i had google ads on here for a while, but you give those guys an inch they try to take it ALL... so... the boot they got.  i'm hoping others recognize this and migrate here because of that practice. ultimately.. maybe.. possibly... hopefully.

I donate to the SFF separately, so I can stick with it for here.

My usual Purdue site (Hammer & Rails) now has autoplay video ads, WITH audio turned on. That's no issue on desktop, but on my cell it means I can't read the site any more.

I forgot about this. We should sticky this on page 1. I buy a lot for the business on Amazon. I’ll make sure I’m coming through here in the future.
